According to an IGN translation of an interview with a Taiwanese YouTube channel, Yoshida said it would be better for developers and players alike if there weren’t competing console platforms.

“Game platforms… I probably shouldn’t say this, but I wish there was only one,” he reportedly said. “It would be better for both the developers and the players.”

Sony and Microsoft have both secured a number of third-party titles as console exclusives over the years. One of the most notable examples of this is the PlayStation maker’s ties with Square Enix, which in recent years have seen Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16 excluded from Xbox.

In consoles anyway, yeah... Microsoft has PC and cloud.

Sony should just have the console space and everyone that wants to play on console plays PlayStation.

That means, no need for crossplay complications, console wars, multiple platform development etc.

All production can be focused on one model...it's more efficient.
